uafc Unfortunately our friends over on the UAFC have been attacked by hackers yet again. It may take a couple of days to get the site and the messageboard fully restored.

This appears to be a more agressive attack but hopefully the main site should be up and running by tonight, but the forum may have to be re-installed, upgraded and the database checked.

The guys at UAFC will use this posting to keep you up to date with what’s happening.

If you have any questions you can leave a message below.

    currently re-uploading the main site… it’ll take some time, however, due to the malicious nature of the hacker, the forum may have to start again from scratch… we just don’t have any details of how much or how badly the actual database has been attacked, or whether he has left a ‘backdoor’. It is also possible he has compromised all the usernames and passwords.
    We will try out best, and I will update again when i have more details.

      Suspect this isn’t the ‘original’ cables.

      Hopefully they’ll be able to get the forum back up and running this weekend.

      Not a chance as there is only one cables and he is a legend, try it and you will have Fitzy and others after your hide, not worth the hassle on your part.
